DELICIOUS FOOD!!!
CAET is great for drinks (they have an extensive wine list) as well as dinner or small plate snacks. Usually pretty hoppin' on the weekends as well as week nights. Has a relaxed/upscale vibe without being stuffy. ***Currently relocating to The Renaissance in Ridgeland :(

A charming bed and breakfast home to "The Library Lounge", our favorite local watering hole, and 1908, a cozy restaurant and bar. Great craft cocktails, wine, snack menu, and atmosphere in the lounge. Fun patio. Super Old Fashions. Cozy library feel. Dim lighting. Great after-dinner drink spot. (walk in the front door of the Inn and take your immediate left to get into the lounge, 1908 restaurant is further back)

Food Scene
Walker's has some of the best most savory southern food around. It's the place to go to celebrate a special occasion. They serve excellent seafood as well as other meats...really everything is delicious at Walker's. The Red Fish Anna is a local favorite. One of the pricier places in town, but worth every penny. Go for lunch to save some $$$- great blue plate lunches. TRY THEIR SISTER RESTAURANT CAET, TOO!!

The Manship is laid-back, has a great bar, has excellent food, and has a farm to table type menu. Great filet and my favorite side dishes- all of their veggies are excellent. Don't let the exterior/medical-looking building deter you. It's one of our favorite places to eat. Good prices/value. Their pizzas are great, too.
